One Story. 12 Minutes. A Global Echo of Hope.

What can happen in 12 minutes? A life can pivot. A heart can heal. A legacy can begin.

Welcome to #12minconvos with Jesus Believers, the daily podcast where high-impact storytelling meets the global mission of the Church. Hosted by Engel Jones, this isn’t your typical interview show; it’s a "flow-versation" designed to capture the raw, unedited, and transformative power of a single testimony.

Why Listen?

We live in a world of noise, but your spirit craves truth. Whether you’re on your morning commute, at the gym, or taking a "Grace Buffer" break, these 12-minute windows provide a snack of pure inspiration that fuels your Active Faith.

Every day at 3:12 AM, we release a new episode featuring a different Jesus Believer from a different corner of the globe. From entrepreneurs and artists to stay-at-home parents and world-changers, we explore the "new creation" moments that define what it means to follow Christ in the 21st century.

A Monumental Mission

When you listen, you aren’t just a consumer; you are a partner in a massive, five-year odyssey. We are currently on a mission to:

Record 5,000 New Testimonies 

Visit 197 Countries by December 2031 to document the Spirit’s work across every border.

Our goal is to reach 10 million monthly views because we believe that the world is starving for authentic stories of hope. Every episode is a "digital seed" planted to spark a physical harvest of faith in your own life and community.

Professional Excellence

We believe the Message deserves the best Medium. Every #12minconvo is professionally mastered by our dedicated production team at Amazel Enterprise, ensuring that every word of hope reaches your ears with clarity and excellence. No "ums," no "ahs" just the pure, thought-provoking flow of a spirit-led conversation.

Join the Conversation

Are you ready to see how God is moving in your neighbor’s life—and in the life of someone halfway across the world?

By weaving hard-won wisdom and a blend of humor, my three-step method guides others into a closer, more fulfilling walk with Jesus Christ.</p><p>Once broken, now Born-Again, I walk boldly as a child of God.</p><p>I am truly blessed.</p><p></p><p><strong>Contact Information:</strong></p><p><a href="mailto:janicekr58@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">janicekr58@gmail.com</a></p><p><a href="http://janicerosespeaker.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://janicerosespeaker.com</a></p><p><a href="http://youtube.com/@JaniceRoseSpeaker" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://youtube.com/@JaniceRoseSpeaker</a></p><p><a href="http://facebook.com/janice.rose.310069/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://facebook.com/janice.rose.310069/</a></p>]]></content:encoded><link><![CDATA[https://www.12minconvos.com]]></link><guid isPermaLink="false">8d164a6f-390d-40af-b2a6-ee694a6318d4</guid><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/06899db9-de3d-4a63-a816-00ceaf9e3060/12minconvos-with-Jesus-Believers-with-Janice-Rose-72-74.jpeg"/><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 03:12:00 -0400</pubDate><enclosure url="https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/8d164a6f-390d-40af-b2a6-ee694a6318d4.mp3" length="11151079" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:duration>07:42</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>72</itunes:episode><podcast:episode>72</podcast:episode><podcast:season>1</podcast:season><podcast:transcript url="https://transcripts.captivate.fm/transcript/696efeed-f03b-4707-a6f8-9558a9e7f04f/transcript.srt" type="application/srt" rel="captions"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcripts.captivate.fm/transcript/696efeed-f03b-4707-a6f8-9558a9e7f04f/index.html" type="text/html"/></item><item><title>John Edmiston: The Three Logical Questions That Led an Atheist to Christ</title><itunes:title>John Edmiston: The Three Logical Questions That Led an Atheist to Christ</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>John Edmiston is a pioneer at the intersection of faith, leadership, and technology.

Raised on a farm, Judy learned early that life demands grit, perseverance, and trust in seasons you don't always understand. That foundation would become the backbone of a life marked not by ease—but by extraordinary endurance.</p><p>Judy was elected as president of her nursing class, and in 1989, she received the honour of being named the first OR RN of the Year at Kaweah Delta District Hospital in Visalia, CA. Judy developed an outstanding professional career, spending more than ten years as CEO of a multi-specialty Ambulatory Surgery Center in San Luis Obispo, CA. She demonstrated excellence, accountability, and a strong dedication to patient care.</p><p>With her background as a Registered Nurse and healthcare executive, Judy knows how to lead under pressure and make crucial decisions when necessary. She was a speaker at Becker's ASC National Conference for three consecutive years in breakout sessions and was included in Becker's "132 ASC Administrators to Know" list in 2015.</p><p>In 2018, her world shifted in ways few could imagine. Within the same year, Judy lost both her mother and her brother—grief that would mark the beginning of a season of profound personal transformation. From 2018 to 2025, she expanded into real estate, serving clients across San Luis Obispo County as an Accredited Buyer Representative. She gained recognition for her integrity, worked with both first-time buyers and luxury clients, won multiple awards, and joined a leading real estate team.</p><p>Today, she continues as a referral agent while stepping fully into her greater calling. But behind the professional success was a life unfolding with unimaginable challenges. Judy experienced what she calls her "Perfect Storm"—a collision of betrayal/divorce, a diagnosis without a cure and the painful necessity of rebuilding her life from the ground up. And just as she began to rise again, another storm hit.</p><p>Judy transitioned from a six-figure salary to a career in real estate and then to searching for a job while planning for a speaking career. At this time, her husband received a diagnosis of terminal cancer. Despite facing significant challenges and uncertainty, she demonstrated resilience and maintained hope while caring for her husband and striving to keep their home. This is not a story tied up with a perfect ending. This is a story of living through it—right now. And that is what makes Judy's voice so rare and so needed. She doesn't speak from theory—she speaks from the middle of the storm. From grief. From pressure. From showing up on the hardest days when quitting might seem easier.</p><p>Judy is the author of a transformational eBook, "Faith Through Stroms"(available on her website) and is an inspirational speaker who has shared her message at church gatherings, one on one's with women and corporate leadership events. Her message is for those who feel like they're barely holding it together...for those navigating loss, uncertainty, or starting over, as well as to build and expand in leadership...and for anyone who needs to be reminded that even now—especially now—purpose still exists. Her signature message centers on overcoming life's storms, reclaiming identity, and choosing to rise—again and again—no matter how many times life knocks you down.</p><p>Now stepping fully into her calling as a speaker, and with a book on the horizon, Judy is on a mission to help others see that God is still writing their story. Through raw honesty, deep faith, and hard-won wisdom, she reminds every audience of one powerful truth: You can walk through the storm—and still become who you were meant to be.

The film has already won 14 international film festival awards: “Best Documentary,” “Best Educational Film,” and “Best Producer.” Her previous documentary, Terror <em>in Toulouse: Has the Community Recovered</em>, retells the story of an antisemitic attack on a Jewish high school in Toulouse, France in 2012 and examines the state of antisemitism in France today.

Her doctoral project was on “The Impact of the Antisemitic Attack on Congregation Beth Israel” and examined the emotional, physical, community, and security impact of a January 2022 hostage situation at the Congregation Beth Israel Synagogue in Colleyville, Texas. She is a two-time ISGAP-Oxford Scholar–in–Residence and received diplomas for fulfilling the requirements at the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy.

In 2003, my wife Elana, a native Israeli, and I, along with our girls, made aliyah (moved to Israel). I served as the co-pastor and interim senior pastor of the King of Kings Community in Jerusalem.</p><p>​</p><p>During this time, we birthed the Isaiah 2 Initiative, taking Israeli young adults to third-world nations to preach the message of Yeshua. In Nigeria, these young adults saw many miracles, and tens of thousands profess faith in Yeshua.</p><p>​</p><p>In 2013, I agreed to become the lead pastor of Tiferet Yeshua, a Hebrew-speaking congregation in Tel Aviv. Three years later, we turned the congregation over to a native-born Israeli, while still functioning as an elder there to this day.</p><p>​</p><p>In 2020, GOD TV partnered with several Messianic Israeli leaders to birth Shelanu TV. I was asked to become the president.</p><p>​</p>]]></content:encoded><link><![CDATA[https://www.12minconvos.com]]></link><guid isPermaLink="false">3708ad39-ffcc-4a8e-87f0-4683683654b4</guid><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/f22d60b3-5556-4cde-9a00-f390d9d8c7dc/12minconvos-with-Jesus-Believers-with-Ron-Cantor-Episode-40-93.jpeg"/><pubDate>Wed, 29 Apr 2026 03:12:00 -0400</pubDate><enclosure url="https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/3708ad39-ffcc-4a8e-87f0-4683683654b4.mp3" length="13808228" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:duration>09:34</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>40</itunes:episode><podcast:episode>40</podcast:episode><podcast:season>1</podcast:season><podcast:transcript url="https://transcripts.captivate.fm/transcript/10fe6364-71d4-416b-b28e-c4477469452d/transcript.srt" type="application/srt" rel="captions"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcripts.captivate.fm/transcript/10fe6364-71d4-416b-b28e-c4477469452d/index.html" type="text/html"/></item><item><title>Lori Ann Wood: Trading What You Can&apos;t Keep for What You Can Never Lose</title><itunes:title>Lori Ann Wood: Trading What You Can&apos;t Keep for What You Can Never Lose</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>Lori Ann Wood lives with her husband in an empty nest in beautiful Bentonville, Arkansas.

But because we are Christians, we have Jesus Christ to rely on to make it through those rough times. I attended a Presbyterian church as a child but stopped when I left home at 18 years old. I was married for 25 years - a seemingly happy marriage - with a wonderful and intelligent wife and beautiful daughter. I was working as an agricultural land manager and had a great salary. But in the midst of this happy life, I began experiencing a series of illnesses - it started with body pains, headaches, sleeplessness, and I became very ill. This lasted nearly 10 years.</h4><p>Then in 2010 my wife left me, I was fired from my job, and I became homeless and was living in my car. And then curious things began happening. One day wandering around on the beach I found a page of biblical scripture lying on the sand. And then a little later I found a Christian message of hope printed on a little card.</p><p>About this time, I was parked at the beach when a homeless friend of mine introduced me to a Christian surfer. He told me about a church called the Harbor Church and invited me to go with him the next day. I felt really down and out, it was the lowest point of my life - having to seek help at a church. This church had a homeless food program. They served breakfast and lunch 5 days a week to several hundred homeless people in the city where I was living in California. The homeless program also had a daily bible study group and a prayer group that I joined on that very first day.</p><p>And so began my slow road to recovery through the power and glory of Jesus Christ. After the first week I became a volunteer in the homeless program. I started out by mopping the floors in the dining hall and cleaning the bathrooms. Gradually I moved into the kitchen where I helped the cook and the other volunteers prepare the two daily meals, frying pancakes for up to a 100 guests, preparing fruit and vegetable salads for lunch, serving the meals and then cleaning up all the dishes.</p><p>One day during our prayer hour a small group of the disabled guests came in with their care giver to join us. The care giver, an Hispanic woman, sat outside our little circle of prayer. I was leading the prayers that day and at the end of the prayer time I asked if anyone wanted us to pray for healing for them. When I asked the care giver if she needed prayer said she had been experiencing back pains. So, we all laid hands on her and prayed for the pain to go away. A few days later this same group came back into prayer and the care giver said, “I don’t know what happened but after you prayed for me the pain went away and hasn’t come back.”</p><p>I stayed with the program for 2 1/2 years and completely recovered my health. At the end of my time at the homeless ministry I began going on short term mission trips to Mexico. Looking back, I could see God’s hand in all this, guiding me to where he wanted me to go. He turned the worst situation in my life into the greatest blessing. He renewed my faith and gave me a calling to serve the Aboriginal people of Australia and that’s why I’m here now.</p><p><a href="https://aucd.academia.edu/RichardHandley" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://aucd.academia.edu/RichardHandley</a></p>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Everyone has experienced dark and troubling times.
